What’s the difference between the buddha ripple bearing and the twisted trifecta bearing? Don’t they look exactly the same? Does one spin longer than the other or something?

No they are exactly the same. I’m pretty sure they even come from the same supplier.

My limited experience is that I am getting roughly similar results on either. I have about 6 of both. My results with testing after cleaning and treating is that the differences are well within what I would consider to be reasonable variances.

I will say though, the last 2 Trifectas I got behave different, but in a good way. Must have been a good run.
